Cech: Arsenal Must Name New Manager Soon To Help Players

Meanwhile, the Arsenal board have now stepped up their search for the Frenchman's successor and seemingly has zeroed on former Arsenal player and current assistant coach of Manchester City, Mikel Arteta and Hoffenheim's young manager Julian Nagelsmann.

The Sun says Gazidis has been pushing for Arteta since Wenger announced he was stepping down last month.

Lewin has been at the club for 23 years, joining Arsenal's academy to work his way up through the ranks to become a vital member of Arsene Wenger's first team set up.

The former Borussia Dortmund forward notched his 10th Premier Leaguegoal for the club - in his 12th appearance - quicker than any other Arsenal player. We all know whoever that may be just needs to toughen up the midfield, perhaps by not showing Granit Xhaka unopposed loyalty, and reframe the defence.

However, Allegri said: "If they don't sack me, I'll stay at Juventus next year too".

Frenchman Arsene Wenger has explained that his biggest transfer regret was not to have signed Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo when he was in charge of Arsenal.

Vieira captained Arsenal and won three Premier League titles, as well as three FA Cups, during Wenger's most successful spell with the Gunners. "We hadn't managed to do that yet so it was important to end Arsene's final game with a win", said Ramsey. "It will be hard to adjust of course but I will have to deal with that". Wenger was given gifts to mark the day and a guard of honour was once again formed for the Arsenal manager before kick off.

Wenger himself arrived from Japanese club Nagoya Grampus Eight (stop me if you've heard this story before). "I will remain an Arsenal fan above everything else".
